COMBINED WARDROBF.,

BEDSTEAD, AND TABLE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 224,679, dated February17, 1880, Application led October 28, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN J. GREEN,`ofValparaiso, in the county of Porter and State of Indiana, have inventedcertain new and useful Iinprbvementsin a Combi ned Wardrobe, Bedstead,and Table; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilledin the art to which my invention appertains to construct and make use ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecitication.

Figure l is a front elevation, with the bedstead and table folded away;Fig. 2, a front elevation, showing the side leaves of the table thrownopen; Fig. 8, a front elevation, showing the interior of the wardrobeand the table in proper position for use; Fig. 4, a front elevation,lwith the table folded and thrown back, exposing the bedstead andbedding; Fig. 5, a side elevation of the same, showin gthe bedsteadinproperposition for use, and Fig. 6 a side elevation in section, showin gthe position of the bedstead when folded away.

The object of this invention is the construction of a useful andconvenient article of household furniture consisting of a wardrobe,hedstead, and table combined,.the exact arrangement and operation ofwhich will hereinafter be more fully explained in detail, and set forthin the claim.

In referring to the drawings, A represents the case inclosing thebedstead and bedding, to which the table attachment is hinged.

B represents the wardrobe, placed upon the top of the case A, havinghinged doors c et, and mirrors c a' in panels o f the same.

C C are the side leaves, forming part of the table, and whennot in useas a table assume means of the hinges 3 and 4, are made to assume thehorizontal position shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the side leaves ofthe table resting on and being supported by the cleats 5 and 6, attachedto the sides of the case A, and the central part of the table beingsupported by the leg c, which in turn is held in avertical position bymeans of the hook c.

The leg c is hinged to the under side of the table, and when notrequired for use folds up close to the saine, as shown in Fig. 4 of lthedrawings.

The upper half of 'the front part of the case of the bedstead issupported by means of the i rod 9, which runs transversely from side toside, and has bearings in the sides ofthe case A. It would not beconvenient to employ legs at the head of the bedstead. The rod 9 notonly dispenses with the use of legs in supporting the bed, butalso actsas apivot when the bed is being folded or unfolded.

'I he point at which the bedstead is divided iny two should be a littlepast the center, in the direction of the head of thebed, in order thatthe foot end of the bed may be the longest, so that when the two halvesof the bedstead are folded together in a vertical position the legs dpass by the head end of the bedstead, as shown in Fig. 6 of thedrawings.

The mattress l() is divided in two parts,.to correspond to the foldingbedstead, and folds up with the same in the manner shown in Fig. 6 ofthe drawings.

Having thus fully described In y invention,

Awhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Paten t, is-

'Ihe combination, with the hinged front of the case A, divided throughthe center on a horizontal line, and adapting the lower half of the sameto be brought to a horizontal position, of the hinged leg c, thetable-leaves C G, and the cleats 5 and 6, substantially as and for thepurpose deswibed.
